The gelding Broadwood had Ijis career terminated on Tuesday. While contesting Qic Summer Cup at Eller,slie he fractured his pelvis, and it was deemed merciful to requisition the friendly bullet. Broadwood was bought bv Mr W. XI. AVac'krow in 1921 and under the colours of the Taiuuartmui sportsman lie Avon a number of good races. Last season Broadwood won stakes to the value of £2979 and he proved a good speculation.

CARR! NGTOX STAKES. (Alist, and ’ Cable). Sydney, December 30. ( The following K the result of the Carrington Stakes: Valieare 1, 'Valais Queen 2, V a hard 3. A\ on by two lengths. Time, 1.114. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Ngala is a great all-round performer, and deserves to take rank with Record Reign and Liberator for .h is versatility. A. cliampioj, hurdler, a good .steeplechaser, and 'one of our best handicap performers on the flat, is seldom combined in one animal. Commendation hay been twice unplaced. Each time be refused to leave the starting post, lie will get no commendation for that from Ids backers .

Shirley is only a little one. and a rise of 91b for running second was a hit too much for her. ,She could only get third on the .second day of the Manawatu meeting. . !

Motley i.s hack to form. She had two good ones >" Pencils and Tamatcte behind her in the Palmerston North Stakes.

Road Hog does ; not often win, but lie did his oavucv a .'good turn by annexing the first race at Manawatu on Monday.

11. Hickey does, not seem to be having the best, of luck with Olympic. Twice lately he lias just missed a good handicap.

Nino of Spades was unlucky to hump up against ~ Ivilbronsyth -at Manawatu on Monday.

-•T Oration is stated' to have developed soreness. .'.'W

Haze Avas hanging out in contesting the Auckland Cup, and the going seemed to puzzle him; says a northern exchange. ' . :

Quite u number of ’horses that Averc competing on the first, two days of Hie Auckland meeting have developed soreness,, and a. solid downpour would work wonders in the track.

Mask failed fo gain a. situation in the Queen’s Plate at Auckland, but ho Avas not luelcv in the contest, and will see a better day.

Desert Gloav i s reported to have run a great race in the Auckland Cup, and may return a dividend before the meeting is over.

It is stated that Te Aionamii find Afusketoon have 1 developed lameness, and may possibly forfeit; further' engagements at Ellerslie.

Royal Tea i« said to have the iiabit of changing his leg.-; when at his top, and it is contended lie did so in the concluding stage of the Foal Stakes contest at Auckland on Saturday when fighting put the finish with the Wanganui-bred and owned Lysahder.

Tiie Australian-bred Cawnpore put up a good performance ill finishing just behind the well-performed JRcrcnioana in the first division of the Railway Handicap at Auckland. Cawnporc’s turn is not far away.

Roy Reed, who steered Rapine to victory in the Auckland Cup, must be given credit for riding an extremely well judged, race. He got his horse on the rails at an early stage, and lie maintained the position throughout- Reed has ridden the son of Martian to victory in a series of: important events, which include the Wellington Cup, Trent ha ni (fold Cup, New Zealand St. Leger, Great Northern St. Leger and Auckland Cup.

When Nucleus fell at the turn into the straight in the Queen’s Plate contest at Ellcrslic, which resulted in Pegaway being brought down, matters looked perilous for two jockeys, J. Meplian and R. McTavish, for a great number of the contesting horses had ot pass' the riders unseated as they lay prone- It was a great relief lo the assemblage when it was seen that the jockeys escaped being galloped on. MeTavisli has been especially unlucky this season, for he has suffered quite a number of falls.
